Mayra Bueno Silva, Arnold Allen, UFC 297 preview w/ guest co-host John Morgan

With Matt Serra out and about in Toronto during UFC 297 fight week, John Morgan tags along as a guest co-host for an episode of UFC Unfiltered that sees women’s bantamweight Mayra Bueno Silva and featherweight Arnold Allen call in ahead of their fights on Saturday.

 

Jim and John kick off the show by previewing this Saturday’s highly-anticipated middleweight title fight main event between champion Sean Strickland and challenger Dricus Du Plessis.

 

Then, Mayra Bueno Silva hops on the show ahead of her fight against 2nd-ranked women’s bantamweight Raquel Pennington to iterate why she feels prepared to seize the vacant title on the line in Saturday’s co-main event.

 

When Mayra leaves, the guys discuss some other storylines on Saturday’s card before ultimately bringing on Arnold Allen as the final guest caller of the show.

 

Nine months removed from his loss to Max Holloway, Allen previews his fight against unbeaten Movsar Evloev in the pay-per-view opener, while also dishing out his thoughts on whether Alexander Volkanovski made a wise decision to quickly turn around for a fight at UFC 298 against Ilia Topuria.

 

Finally, Jim and John end the show with a few predictions from the very top of Saturday’s UFC 297 pay-per-view card.
